[Q] hinkpad Tablet 1: Errors on Recovery Menu (/cache) - Thinkpad Tablet General

Hi
I have a problem with the Thinkpad Tablet 1 (1838-22U).
It does not boot anymore, it hangs on lenovo static logo (not the animated one). So I tried to access the recovery menu by power it on and press Up volume several times.
It says "Booting recovery kernel image". Sometime it hangs in there, some other times it access the recovery menu.
But it gives too many error messages.
E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(no such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache/recovery/last_log
etc.
Here it goes a pic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any ideas how to recover the Thinkpad Tablet image when you get that errors? The wipe does not work too, it also give the "E:failed to mount /cache" errors.
Regards
Martin

Thanks for the link, it looks interesting, but I can not mount the sdcard on the "Android Recovery" menu. I'm using the default one, not CWM.
The recovery menu does not recognize the SDcard at all, so I don't know how to copy that .zip file to the tablet.
Martin

I have no idea then... sorry.

This looks like your EMMC partitiontable is corrupt.
If the recovery menu doesn't have access to the partitions, you can't format them or install anything.
Maybe flashing a complete fresh ROM will help, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the reply.
The issue is that I can not copy a fresh ROM via SDCard since the "Recovery Menu" can not mount the SDCard. If there is another way to load the rom I will appreciate any pointer.
Since this tablet has nvidia tegra processor, I had been reading that maybe it can be fixed by using nvflash, but I don't know how to use it yet.
Any experiences to recover a ROM with nvflash are welcome.

I have a simular problem with my tablet, but i can access the recovery at all, and lenovo has locked apx, so i cant flash it by using nvflash

I'm trying to use nvflash. But I'm having a problem with it.
- I turn the table by pressing "Rotate Button" and "power Button" for 4 seconds. (The display does not show anything)
- I connect the USB cable.
- Windows recognize the device (and I have installed the APX drivers).
But when I run "nvflash" with a simple command to display information, it get disconnected from Windows just like if the device get unplugged.
I still don't know what that means.

Hi slippern
I think we have the same issue. Sometimes the "Recovery" runs and show me the error I listed, and sometimes it just hangs on "Booting recover kernel image".

OK, I found the thread where everybody shares my problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745450&page=5
The bad news is that there is not a solution for us.
For what I understand the problem seems that the bootloader of some Thinkpad Tablet device is locked and that why nvflash does not work. We need a 'sbk' code to be able to unlock the tablets, and only lenovo has it. This code has to be leaked for the community try to fix this problem with the Lenovo Tables. It is said that the bootloader is encrypted using AES128, so it will be very hard to obtain this SBK by brute force.

Lame...

I'm fighting with this problem on the Lenovo Forums:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPa...-1-Errors-on-Recovery-Menu/m-p/1084539#M23085
I was contacted by someone from Technical support and told on the forum that:
"The teams are still investigating into this issues. Currently no work around has been provided at the moment. I'll be sure to post an update as soon as I can get further updates on the case."
He also asked that if your Thinkpad Table 1 is under warranty and having bricking problems, contact the service team and send it in for service.
Too bad mine is not under warranty.

Martin

at last step, that you will return to WM and nothing happened,
that should be wrong shipped ROM that you install,
please check your IMEI number at HTC website

it could be long (10-30 mins), depends of your sd card.
Maybe your sd card isn't very good and not compatible with android.
Try to format your sdcard or try another sdcard

It's not really big problem. Simple way is TOTAL reset phone by KDZ Updater.
I will give You link to MEGA Cloud (it's a name of this ) with my ZIP which contains KDZ Updater and V10F_00.kdz file.
To reset Your phone by KDZ:
FIRST: Open KDZ Updater after decompress ZIP file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SECOND: After the program is opened, select following options:
a) "3GQCT" in "Type" should be selected.
b) "DIAG" in "PhoneMode",
c) Browse Your KDZ file...
d) ...and path to this file will appear in this place...
...AND WAIT.
Now You should do something with Your phone.
(I)Turn it on, BUT...
...You must click and HOLD 2a, 2b and 1. I'm sorry, I changed the sequence of steps in the picture.
(II) Screen should turn on and show text "Emergency Mode!" on yellow background.
(III) Now plug LG to computer.
(IV) It probably won't recognize Your phone, You have to don't care about it, BUT Windows (because I think You have Windows ) must play sound for plugging USB. Then You can click "Launch software update" in KDZ Updater.
After all Your phone will reboot itself.
And DONE!
PS If LG will not repair, try to change "PhoneMode" to "EMERGENCY" or "CS_EMERGENCY".
Oh, here's the link:
https://mega.co.nz/#!JNdD1LYD!RhdRIW-ce5iILNyCNif7otv_uDwjjGArAaJL63bxMiA
thank you but i tried this way and the bad thing is the phone not working by any way ( emergency mode or download mode )

What do you mean when you say "it's not working"? Cann't you boot it? Have you got any error message?

yes i can't boot it .. no response
Hello Alex_4ever,
If you want someone help you, you should be more specific. What did you do? or what had your tried? and what was your result?
I mean, I suppose you use a Windows PC (problems and solutions change with different OS). I suppose you rooted your device... Have you install a custom recovery? Have you tried accessing to recovery mode?
I think emergency mode and download mode is the same (Emergency download mode)
You can boot with a hardware buttons combination or with a command from the PC via USB (Of course, you could use last one with some conditions.)
The hardware buttons combination is different for Emergency/download mode and recovery mode
Restart in Recovery mode by pressing, Power Button + Volume Down + Menu button
I don't know if that works:

[Q] Possible Write Protection Situation? Can't Install Nothing.. Need Help!

My friend just gave me a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and he told me that it has a problem and may I can fix.
I've tried everything I know but there is no any progress so far.
Here is the problem;
1. Device is not booting. Hanging out at the first logo (Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505)..
2. I thought it's a simple problem.. I can make factory reset and it may work.
3. I entered recovery and I've seen this;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. The problem seems big than I thought. I thought maybe it may work if I put original firmware. Downloaded from sammobile and nothing changed. Then I decided to install a recovery.
5. I choose TWRP and installed it with these settings. Result on computer;
Result on Phone;
6. And tried to enter recovery, result was successful !!
7. Then Enter 'Advanced' > 'Terminal Command'
8. I just checked 'whoami' on terminal;
9. I can delete everything if I'm root right? So let's try.. 'ls' and get list..
10. Let's delete etc and efs folders. I have the power!
11. Let's reboot device, enter recovery again.. and let's see if I'm successfully deleted directories;
As you can see, device is always saying that Failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) and more. I can only install recovery. And I can't delete or change anything else. Neither I can't install new firmware.
Do you have any idea? What is this? I want to fix this stupid situation.
I just tried to explain the situation with photos. Hope it wasn't boring.
Thank you for reading.
Have you tried with Kies?
Or maybe trying to flash a custom ROM?
Did you ask if he did something to cause this?
Edit: I once had an SD card which was broken. I could create/copy and delete stuff but as soon as I removed the SD from any device it was connected to, everything was back to it's previous state (deleted files were back and copied stuff was gone). I tried formatting but same thing happened.
Maybe something is wrong with the internal storage.
Try to convert to another file system format.

I've tried with Kies 2.6 and Kies 3..
Kies 3 says 'unsupported device'
Kies 2.6 just waiting waiting and nothing..
I couldn't put any files to internal storage.. Also it doesn't recognize any sd card.
I don't know how to change the file system?
I mean to ext4 or f2fs, or whatever.
I don't know how to do it either. I never had the need to do it. I don't even know if you can in this situation, but you could try. There should be several guides on the internet on how to do it. Just google it.
Does a pc recognize the phone? Have you tried pushing something to it via adb?

Sure it's recognize.. I'm able to install recovery with Odin.
But when you did turn-off and turn-on, everything is reversing.. Like never installed.
So it's basically exactly like the issue that I described about my broken SD card.
I think it may be an internal storage problem. Maybe it's broken. I don't see why or how something would trigger a write protection.

If the internal storage is dead then I don't think there is much you can do. You could try taking it to specialized service

[HELP] Cannot move or create anything on Internal Storage

Hello! Here is everything i did to get to this point:
• Unlocked the bootloader
• Installed TWRP
• Took nandroid backup
• Wiped everything (excluding USB-OTG)
• Tried to move files to the phone, and it created a no-name file with the windows drive icon
• Tried to delete the file, couldn't.
• Disconnected from PC, tried to wipe Internal Storage again, said " Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory) "
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it still continues to say "Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory)" every time i try to wipe the Internal Storage, doesn't matter if MTP enabled/disabled or if connected to PC or not.
So now i cannot move any files or folders to the phone, when i try, it does nothing.
When i try to create a directory on the phone, just says this (see image below) or hangs Windows Explorer.
I did all of this following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
TWRP IMG used: Bluspark TWRP
I did NOT flash supersu or magisk, because i was going to install ResurrectionRemix ROM on the phone after all this. Also i did not reboot to OOS after installing TWRP, just wiped everything and i cannot move anything to the memory now.
[EDIT] When i go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select Internal Storage>Click Repair or Change File System it says "Invalid partition selection"
What should i do? I hope i didn't somehow brick my brand new phone :crying:
did you try flash TWRP recovery "again" via fastboot? so restart phone in fastboot mode> flash recovery via ADB (or just copy TWRP recovery.img to your excisting TWRP and flash again as "recovery">reboot) You should than have a clean recovery. Than wipe everything also (incl. format data.) Than reboot in recovery and copy ROM file, Gapps, Magisk etc..etc.. from pc and start from a clean "scratch"
Edit: i had this kind of issue also while flashing unofficial Oreo LOS build. I ****ed it up also. Keep in mind as long as your PC reconize your device you are totally NOT bricked. So don't worry!!!
I solved it myself somehow...
Sorry about this whole post, i just somehow got this working when i tried to sideload an img file (ik, i'm a genious) it said "corrupted zip file" and now i can see everything again on the Internal Storage... wow.. How do i close a thread now?
Glad it worked out!
I think only a Forum Moderator can close threads.
Oh, ok. Do i need to contact one or do something so they can remove/close the thread? Thanks for the fast response anyways!

sounds like it needs a factory restore (partition layout broken?) via QPST and the latest fastboot image.
fastboot boot twrp.img and copy all your valuable data first.
edit: you could try
Code:
fastboot flash misc tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0\images\misc.img
first. though not sure if it works. "No such file or directory" usually means the partition is gone.
